摘要:
Processes for the conversion, under conditions and with a catalyst system effective for olefin metathesis, of hydrocarbon feedstocks comprising an acyclic symmetrical olefin (e.g., butene-2) are described. Olefin products of lower and higher carbon numbers (e.g., propylene and pentene) are formed in the presence of a catalyst comprising a solid support and a tungsten hydride bonded to alumina present in the support. This occurs despite the olefin metathesis reaction mechanism leading to a degenerative result, without any expected production of different carbon number products from acyclic symmetrical olefins.

A process for the autocatalytic production of organic hydroperoxides and ultra low sulfur diesel boiling range hydrocarbons is disclosed. The organic hydroperoxides react with sulfur compounds to produce sulfones, and the sulfones can be removed from the diesel boiling range hydrocarbons to provide ultra low sulfur diesel.

A process for converting methanol to light olefins is disclosed and claimed. The catalyst is a metalloaluminophosphate molecular sieve having the empirical formula (ExAlyPz)O2 where EL is a metal such as silicon or magnesium and “x”, “y” and “z” are the mole fractions of EL, Al and P respectively and specifically where “x” has a value of about 0.02 to about 0.08. A preferred molecular sieve is one which has predominantly a plate crystal morphology in which the average smallest crystal dimension is at least 0.1 microns and has an aspect ratio of no greater than 5. The process provides greater selectivity to ethylene and propylene versus C4+ byproducts.

A catalyst for converting methanol to light olefins along with the process itself are disclosed and claimed. The catalyst is a metalloaluminophosphate molecular sieve having the empirical formula (ELxAlyPz)O2 where EL is a metal such as silicon or magnesium and x, y and z are the mole fractions of EL, Al and P respectively. The molecular sieve has predominantly a plate crystal morphology in which the average smallest crystal dimension is at least 0.1 microns and has an aspect ratio of no greater than 5. Use of this catalyst gives a product with a larger amount of ethylene versus propylene.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for enhancing the production of light olefins with a catalytic reaction zone containing small pore zeolitic and non-zeolitic catalysts which can significantly improve the yield of ethylene and propylene in a process for the conversion of light olefins having four carbon atoms per molecule and heavier. Specifically, a C.sub.4 olefin stream from an ethylene production complex is converted in a reaction zone over a non-zeolitic catalyst at effective conditions to produce a product mixture containing ethylene and propylene. Ethylene and propylene are separated from the product mixture and recovered. A portion of the remaining heavy hydrocarbons and paraffins may be recycled to the reaction zone for further conversion, or oligomerized to produce valuable downstream products. The additional step of removing iso-olefins from the recycle stream provided significant advantages. The process of the present invention may be applied in commercial ethylene plants, in petroleum refining catalytic cracking operations, and in processes for the conversion of oxygenates such as methanol-to-olefins to enhance the production of ethylene and propylene.

The catalyst comprises a metal aluminophosphate molecular sieve having the empirical formula (EL.sub.x Al.sub.y P.sub.z)O.sub.2 where EL is a metal and x, y and z are mole fractions of EL, Al and P respectively. Preferred metals are silicon, magnesium and cobalt, with silicon especially preferred. The molecular sieve catalyst is composed of particles at least 50% of which have a particle size less than 1.0 .mu.m and no more than 10% of the particles have a particle size greater than 2.0 .mu.m. It is also preferred that the metal content (x) be from about 0.005 and 0.05 mole fraction.
摘要:
An alkylation-transalkylation process for the production of a monoalkylated aromatic compound is disclosed which maximizes the production of desirable monoalkylaromatic compounds, while limiting transalkylation catalyst deactivation. The process entails the combination of an alkylation reaction zone, a first seperation zone, a second separation zone, and a transalkylation reaction zone wherein the alkylation catalyst and transalkylation catalyst are dissimilar and where the alkylation catalyst is comprised of phosphoric acid material and the transalkylation catalyst is comprised of a crystalline aluminosilicate material. The transalkylation catalyst deactivation is reduced by transalkylating only dialkylated aromatic compounds. Additionally, the transalkylation catalyst is regenerable utilizing a hot liquid hydrocarbon wash.

Superior aromatic alkylation and transalkylation performance is obtained with a novel catalytic composition comprising a hydrogen form mordenite incorporated with alumina. The superior performance is a direct result of the catalyst composition having a surface area of at least 580 m.sup.2 /g. A novel method of preparing a catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m.sup.2 /g is characterized by contacting a formed catalytic composite with an acidic aqueous solution.
摘要:
An olefinic feedstock containing contaminants such as oxygenates may be oligomerized to a desired oligomer which contains a particular configuration. The process may be effected by utilizing a catalyst which comprises a porous support containing a catalytically effective amount of an iron group metal compound in combination with a catalytically effective amount of an alkyl aluminum compound and an activator comprising an aluminum alkoxide. The presence of the latter compound in the catalyst compound will permit the catalyst to maintain its activity and stability over a relatively long period of time. The catalyst of the invention is prepared by impregnating a porous support with an aqueous solution of an iron group metal salt, calcining and contacting the calcined support with a solution containing an alkyl aluminum compound and an aluminum alkoxy compound.
